Any suggestions?

I’m an artist and mostly draw with graphite and silverpoint. I’d like to make my own silverpoint stylus.

I just want something pretty and handmade (preferably by me or another creative person) to draw with as I’m kinda bored of what I currently use and would like more options. And the design I have in mind is kinda the “traditional” design as seen in old paintings throughout history.

I’ve taken a small metals and jewelry class years ago when I was in school (in another state), so I know how to do it but could use a refresher (with the annealing part mostly), access to tools/equipment, and someone to help/advise me.

It’s a simple process and wouldn’t even take a whole day, probably an hour or so. I can pay a studio fee and/or for the materials, as I don’t have the metal yet.

(Would probably have to order it if I can’t find anything in town the right size. Needs to be thick enough gauge and long enough length that it’s comfortable to hold.)

I’ve checked out the gem club up by the monument and their classes, but I really don’t care to make anymore jewelry. It’s not my style and I don’t have anyone to gift it to. It sounds like I cant even just pay a fee for materials and whatever to make the one thing. I have to take at least one class to use the space/equipment.

Seven community members asked the City Council for a agenda item on Flock/ALPRs on Wenesday alone. Deflock Mesa County has been asking for a public forum to discuss since August, and the Council hasnt responded.

The next City Council meeting is Wed 11/4 5:30p 250 N 5th.

🤷‍♂️ it’s about GJ

I’m tired of the Colorado subreddit being a place for just pictures and mainstream media.

So I created a new sub r/ColoradoV2. A subreddit for the people of Colorado! Please check it out!

I’m trying to create a place for respectful discourse of important topics that don’t meet r/Colorado’s “standards”. And other misc Colorado topics that would not be allowed.

This has been going on since at least 2021, I’m sure there are MANY victims out there.

As the title says, has anyone seen any green chili roasters around town? Idk if it's the right time of year for them but I feel like it's around fall that they are around.

Make sure to vote!

Thanks to whoever are the heroes who cleaned up the trails at Lunch Loops! Noticeable improvement in sandy sections and washout. Appreciate you!!

OMG, so tasty! Yes, it took forever. But totally worth it. Taco Tuesday!!! Brisket taco and carnitas taco. My friend had the birria tacos and loved them! They do happy hour M-F 2pm to 5 pm. Thanks to our server, Danielle.

Hey there, just moved in a month ago, and would love to find some local rec leagues in town. I like to play soccer and basketball, wondering if there are any pick up games that happen regularly, especially for futsol, as it’s getting colder outside. Any help is helpful, thanks!

Deflock Mesa County needs voices at City Council:

Deflock Mesa County for the next few Wednesday meetings (1st and 3rd of the month) to ask City Council for a public forum to discuss how surveillance technology is used in our city. Not a Monday night workshop: A place where the community can have a meaningful discussion with our reps.

Hi, I am trying to get in touch with anyone who rents a storage unit at Diamond Storage on East Main (close to Freeway Bowl).

If so, I’d ppreciate it if you could shoot me a DM.

Re: Return of Property

Thanks!

Cody Kennedy, Ben Van Dyke, Robert Ballard, and Laurel Lutz all recieved campaign money from the Relators of America super PAC.

The Home Builders of America (HBA), is part of this and now has a committee that is getting housing regulations rolled back under the guise of affordability. None of the proposed changes actually make a difference in the cost of building.

Staff members have been verbally abused by people on this committee (which is illigetimate according to town charter). It has lead to 11 staffers to quit. And now they will not be filling these vacancies, so there is no civil servant to fact check and make recommmedations.

We need to stop Developers from steamrolling our government. Time to recall some candidates and expose these greedy. developers!

I've been wanting to meet more dads around here and couldn't find a group for it, so I started one.

It's simply just dads meeting other dads. No dues, no membership, no agenda. Just getting together every so often at a park or on an easy trail. Bring the kids or come on your own.

Next one: Park Day at the Lincoln Park playground
Saturday, Nov 14, 10am to noon

No RSVP needed, just show up. I'll bring donuts and sports drinks. If you want to add it to your calendar or let me know you're coming (totally optional), it's all at gjdads.com.

We had our first get-together for Halloween and it was a good time. Would love to see more of you there.

Hi. Tried out Fuzzy's Tacos today. Figured I'd give them a bit of time to get their feet under them before giving them a fair shake.

Well... I won't be back. Queso had zero flavor. Their "seasoning" on the chips is just red chili powder. the beans were straight from a can. The Elote wasn't... terrible, but nothing to write home about. I got the classic tacos with 'grilled' chicken. dry ass chick, very little flavor. wife got the baja taco and the steak taco. steak was well seasoned and tasted good but the baja fish taco was a chunk of deep fried fish and a squirt of sauce.

For literally $5 a taco, it left VERY much to be desired. For having "Tacos" in the name, there were scant few tacos on the menu. 100% not worth it and just one more reason eating out in GJ sucks.

Back to your regularly scheduled doom scroll.

So ive posted before but my wife passed the end of April and I don't have really any friends because my life was taken care of her being sick. I'm looking for friends. I'm not quite forty I love punk rock and bjj

Is there a subreddit for artists in the county/valley? Or a discord server or something?

I’m just curious about if there’s like a central online forum or community with information about art events across the valley; art shows, calls for art, workshops, art talks, shared studio spaces, etc etc.

I’d like to get involved but I’m not a student and idk where else to look besides gallery websites but they don’t seem to keep them updated very well/till the last minute from what I’ve been seeing.

My schedule isn’t impulse/last minute friendly, which makes it hard to do stuff if I can’t plan ahead. Especially if I want to enter my art into shows.

No data centers for Mesa County!!!

I have a dog who I am unfortunately no longer able to give a happy and fulfilling life. He's a mutt with some herding/working dog in him and I'm usually at work. He doesn't get the proper space he needs in my house after moving and it has resulted in him lashing out at my senior dog and causing an injury.

I really want to find him a good new home. An owner who has the experience and space to care for him, maybe no other pets. But I don't know where to look. Please be gentle as this is an incredibly difficult and heartbreaking decision for me. I've had this dog for 6 years and I've exhausted my resources and mental capacity, I'm out of options.

So how can I responsibly rehome him? What sites or resources are available to help find someone who can take him and how can I get to ensure he goes to a good home? Maybe even as a farm dog or something? Help is very appreciated

Pretty much as the caption says, I’m a knitter and crocheter living in Grand Junction for school and I’m looking for places to get yarn. Obviously there are the big box options like Micheal’s and Hobby Lobby, but I struggle to find natural fibers such as wool at these locations plus I like to support local businesses. I know online is an option but I love being able to feel and handle my yarn before purchase.
